How to find the local maxima/minima for 3D surf plot with the location of x and y coordinates?

Hello. I have a 3D surf plot of an eigenvalue, that depends on both x and y. I wanted to find the values of the local minima/maxima near some specific coordinates, as well as the coordinates themselves at those points. Is it possible to do so? I used to do this in mathematica, but don't know how to do it in matlab. Thanks!

If you don't have the Image Processing Toolbox:

[TF1,P] = islocalmax(Array,2,'MinProminence',4);%threshold at 4...change accordingly

P(TF1)

V1 = find(TF1, 3, 'first') % this finds the first 3...change accordingly

[y1,x1]=ind2sub(size(Array),V1)

You can use the imregionalmax function from the Image Processing Toolbox. The following answer will be useful to you. https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/277512-how-to-find-peaks-in-3d-mesh

imregionalmax returns a matrix with ones at the coordinates where there is local maxima present and zeros at all other locations. If you want to find the local maxima near a coordinate, you can select a suitable neighborhood and search for ones in that region.
